Encryption

Data, whether stored in a computer, pocket secretary or headware memory, can be encrypted with programs in devices like the data encryption system. Data transmitted through electronic mediums (for example, the Matrix) can be encrypted in the same manner.The software that performs the data encryption is a variant of Scramble I C. Such encryption may be decrypted by a decker using a Decrypt utility or by someone with a data code-breaker system (which contains a dumy program frame of the Decrypt utility). To decrypt the data, a character makes a Computer (Encryption Rating) Test. Reduce the target number of the test by the Decrypt utility or rating of the data code-breaker system. If successful, the data is decrypted. The base time for decrypting data is (Encryption Rating x I 0) minutes. Extra successes can be used to shorten that time.
